Sierra Club Will Seek Action on Soil Erosion

WASHINGTON — The Sierra Club said Monday that it will lobby for strong measures in the 1985 farm bill to combat soil erosion--the other "crisis" facing American agriculture.

The organization, by lobbying members of Congress who support environmental issues, will make tough conservation measures "one of the requisite elements of any farm bill that will earn their vote this year," Douglas Scott, director of federal affairs for the club, told a news conference.
